Urban-related data and geographic information are becoming mainstream in the Linked Data community due also to the popularity of Location-based Services. In this paper, we introduce the UrbanMatch game, a mobile gaming application that joins data linkage and data quality/trustworthiness assessment in an urban environment. By putting together Linked Data and Human Computation, we create a new interaction paradigm to consume and produce location-specific linked data by involving and engaging the final user. The UrbanMatch game is also offered as an example of value proposition and business model of a new family of linked data applications based on gaming in Smart Cities. 1.
